Having purchased other drink holders in the past, I'd found that the mounting options were just not going to work since most of them required space on the handlebars. Something my Ultra has very little of. Seeing this unit mounted to the clutch support, it worked out well for me, plus the extra height from the mount made it even easier for the bottom of the holder to clear the fuel tank. Now I can enjoy a drink while I'm zipping down the superslab.
